Probably the simplest way is to replace your existing /usr/bin/XWin.exe with it (after making a copy of the original so you can put it back afterwards) I discovered that there is some RANDR state which doesn't always get initialized correctly, so also just running 'xrandr' might be a workaround (which was confusing me greatly when testing things :)) I built another snapshot which fixes that, which you might also like to try. ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/x86_64/XWin.20180309-git-42c162c6c1f98253.exe.bz2 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
